Hey Tracey!
I've seen you around before... it's nice to see you HERE!
Coffee. Perfectly natural.

I'm feeling pretty rough, too. I'm going to have a nap.
Maybe we should be belly dancing like Mauvais. Seems to be pepping her up.

SLEEPY......Had to get up EARLY to get DS13 to an eye appointment and I don't DO early!!! Good news-he had "lazy eye" when he was younger, and had to wear glasses. He hasn't worn glasses for a few years now, and TODAY the doctor said he doesn't have to come back unless he starts having problems reading the board at school!!! One less thing to keep track of. YAY!!!

Can I join in here? I love myself today because... I tried on my teenage daughter's skirt and it fit! Also, I weighed in on Monday and I am 3 pounds from my goal...55 pounds gone forever! From size 18 to 8! What a feeling!

I feel good today. Little DS was sick this morning. He had a fever and aching arms and legs. Possibly a mild attack of West Nile.?
I was VERY frightened.
Anyhow, we gave him Tylenol and a bath, and he had a LONG sleep this morning and is much better now. He and I spent the afternoon on the verandah cuddling, reading, and playing charades. I feel good because I've been feeling odd lately about staying at home with my children. Wondering if I should get out there and find a "real" job. I've remembered why I stay home now, and I'm glad of it. A job outside the home can always come later... my children are for now.

Ellis,
Yeah, you snuggly-nurturing-fever-curing-loving-mommy you! and don't think that he won't always remember that either...all that love and attention and care!
nothing in the world like mom rubbing your head and telling you that everything is gonna be alright.
and Sojo...you go you foxy mama.
Love Soozie

It's cooler today and I am feeling great! I loved my visit with my friend Shirleyanne and am now all enthused about sewing again. She has reassured me that I can make a quilt for Harry's birthday and it does not have to be as perfect as one my dear perfect sister would make! I feel confident.
